The Mexican ambassador to Canada gave this speech in April 2, 2004.

Although these new institutions have emerged following a more pragmatic/incremental approach, this should not preclude the three parties from reflecting the possibility of coming up with new institutions to increase cooperation in crucial matters for the trilateral agenda. Take the issue of security. I have stated previously in the different fora in which I have had the opportunity to participate as a speaker, that there is a clear need to enhance and broaden trilateral dialogue on security issues. Such a dialogue has already begun among the three countries, although this has partly been on a bilateral basis. Mexico and Canada have signed their respective Smart Border Accords with the U.S. This step sets out the basic ground to consider the trilateral dialogue a real possibility in the near future. President Fox has constantly reiterated his intention to establish a comprehensive security policy comprising all of the territory included in NAFTA. Mexico has a keen interest to develop in a joint effort with Canada and the U.S., the “NAFTA security concept/mechanism/dialogue/institution”, that could guarantee the protection of all North American borders. For Mexico, the development of this concept is viewed as a logical and natural post-NAFTA step. While some would argue that the fight against terrorism is the natural enemy of regularizing migration, others agree that now more than ever the countries of North America need to address this issue trilaterally.

This is a forerunner to the creation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP),

I'm not a bit surprised of the words trilateral and trilaterally being repeatably used in his speech. If one didn't know any better, we'd be led to believe the Mexican ambassador to Canada was speaking about three nation discussions. When in reality, the content of his speech meant the NWO, or the softened renamed term..."globalization." Is there a North American Union plan to Replace the USA? Absolutely, only a mushroomed fool could think otherwise.
